Parental Control, Ep 39: Types Of Birth And How They Impact Future Pregnancies

My Baba’s Editor Ellie Thompson welcomes obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr. Ellie Rayner to the podcast to discuss how previous types of birth can have an impact on future pregnancy and subsequent births.

The impact of birth

Types of birth include birthing interventions such as forceps and ventouse and the risks associated with them, as well as the impact of a c-section on future births. We discuss vaginal tears and perineal trauma as well as when it’s right to have a VBAC. Gestational diabetes and support for birth trauma are also covered within this episode.
